  • a flocky chip (applicator) produced by static flocking method has a problem of loosing flocks.
  • Animal hairs have problems from the viewpoint of environmental protection and animal protection, and they have a problem of high cost as well.
  • an excellent applicator for makeup can be obtained by uneven distribution of a synthetic resin which is used for binding and bonding a bundle of fibers, such that the amount of the synthetic resin is more in the peripheral part of the fiber bundle and less in the central part thereof, thereby making the peripheral part of the bundle harder and the central part of the bundle softer, and completed this invention.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an applicator, which has good durability, which can be employed for a wide range of uses, which can be produced easily at a reasonable cost, and a method of producing the same.
  • an applicator has a main body which is made by bonding a fiber bundle with a synthetic resin, and is characterized by one or more coating parts obtained by grinding the peripheral part of either or both ends of the main body and a holding part being the unground middle part of the main body, wherein the bonding is carried out in such a way that the hardness of the peripheral part becomes higher than that of the central part of the main body.
  • the difference in the hardness between the peripheral part and the central part arises from uneven distribution of the synthetic resin employed for bonding the fiber bundle, the resin being present in a larger amount in the peripheral part than in the central part.
  • the Durometer Hardness measured by JISK 6301 A type of the peripheral part is more than 1.3 times higher than the Hardness of the central part.

  • the method may include immersing a fiber bundle of a desired thickness in a resin solution, and curing the fiber bundle in such a way that the peripheral part becomes harder than the central part, wherein the resin is unevenly distributed and present in a larger amount in the peripheral part than in the central part by removing the solvent in the impregnating resin solution from the surface of the fiber bundle at one end while the other end of the fiber bundle is still immersed in the resin solution.
  • the fiber bundle impregnated with the resin solution is dried by hot air, thereby the solvent in the resin solution is removed from the surface of the fiber bundle and the peripheral part is made harder than the central part.
  • an applicator according to the present invention is produced by bonding a fiber bundle with a resin to form the main body of the applicator, while setting the hardness of the peripheral part of the fiber bundle higher than that of the central part, it shows excellent weather resistance, and it is free from a problem such as loosing flocks, or the problems owned by applicators for make-up, in particular, applicators for eye shadow powder, eye shadow chip (applicators), and eye shadow brushes, such as the big changes with time, discoloration, or deterioration due to the hardening of the resin and the like.
  • an applicator of high quality having excellent weather resistance which is free from a problem of loosing flocks can be produced in a very simple method in which a fiber bundle is bonded with a resin and the solvent contained in the resin is removed from the periphery by an appropriate means.

It is essentially required that the hardness of the peripheral part of the applicator main body is made higher than that of the central part, in other words, the resin is unevenly distributed, and its amount is larger in the peripheral part (therefore it is smaller in the central part), thereby the peripheral part becomes hard and the central part becomes soft.
  • such uneven distribution of the resin is carried out by controlling the removal of the solvent from the fiber bundle, which is impregnated with the resin solution.
  • Means for bonding a fiber bundle with a resin by uneven distribution of the resin in the peripheral part of the bundle include a method in which a fiber bundle, which is cut to an appropriate length, is immersed in a resin solution for a certain length of time and a method of spraying a resin solution. Industrially and from the viewpoint of conditions of controlling the removal of the solvent as well, conversion of an apparatus conventionally employed for producing nibs and the like from fiber bundles is desirable.

  • the fiber bundle is impregnated with a resin solution 9 while it passes through the bath.
  • the fiber bundle 6 impregnated with the resin solution 9 is supplied into the hot-air drying chamber 11 in which the hot air removes the solvent from the surface of the fiber bundle and cures the resin inside.
  • the solvent contained in the resin solution having impregnated is removed by evaporation from the surface of the fiber bundle 6 by hot air.
  • the resin solution 9 is continuously supplied to the fiber bundle 6, which is in the hot-air drying chamber 11, by capillary action.
  • the amount of the resin to be present in the peripheral part can be controlled by changing the heating conditions variously.
  • the amount of the resin to be present in the peripheral part of the fiber bundle can also be controlled by the concentration of the resin solution 9 to be used.
  • the temperature of the hot-air drying chamber 11 may be appropriately controlled depending on the kinds of the solvents used for the resin solution 9 and the concentration thereof, but it is normally within a range between 40 and 250° C.
